    Veteran umpire Joe West has been suspended one game without pay for grabbing Jonathan Papelbon's jersey during an altercation Sunday with the Philadelphia Phillies closer.

    Major League Baseball executive vice president Joe Torre announced the suspension Wednesday, acknowledging West acted "appropriately" in ejecting Papelbon but also emphasizing that umpires "cannot initiate physical contact" with players.
